PM: Don't compare M'sia to 'banana republics', improvement needed in fight against corruption

Published on 28 Oct 2024 4:21:37 PM

Don't compare the nation's fight against corruption with "banana republics" as there is still room for improvement, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Speaking at the inauguration of the DHL Complex in the KLIA Free Trade Zone on Monday (Oct 28), the Prime Minister said that the nation must not rest on its past laurels in combating corruption or comparing its successes to lesser nations.
As such, Anwar said he also often stressed the need for government departments and agencies to improve on efficiency and delivery.
